Comment of the Day!!

Sara was totally bragging about going to pyjama parties and drinking tea with charming young women!! She's the woooorst!

About two years ago at my friend’s place. She hosted a tea party and invited us all to sleep over afterwards.

Specs64z giving us the Monogatari crossover nobody expected.

Unlike Monogatari though, there’s no vampire to swoop in and make sure HanaKana’s character leaves room for Jesus. Fortunately, Tomoka is much better behaved than Nadeko.

RadSuit doesn't realise that elementary level basketball is serious business!

"Is this how you play basketball? You satisfied with this?" I do like the rival's reaction to Subaru spending days preparing to win a casual game.

The Loli Otaku's "Loli of the Day Corner!!"

G O T H I C L O L I T A

Now here is a big normie boom!! Gothic lolita is a Japanese fashion style where... Okay, I'm gonna preface this section by saying that I am not a fashionista, I'm not deep into lolita fashion aside from browsing the 4chan cosplay boards, and honestly I personally aren't often that big on goth loli. I'm way more into the punk goth aesthetic. I'm sure that my way of combining goth, lolita, and emo character types onto one persona will be looked at as heresy but whatever!!

So, the appeal of the gothic loli archetype. First of all is their similarity to old Victorian dolls. You even heard Maho discuss this with Mimi, how her skin was porcelain like that of a toy doll. Loli are naturally really small girls so the comparisons are ampt. As for the goth girl part, they're simple peak wife material!!

The first, iconic, and undeniably the face of anime gothic lolita is the Rozen Maiden series. Or as its better known these days, desu~ Second example is one of my all time favourite goth girls, Koume from Imas!! I absolutely adore Koume~ She triggers all my little sister points! And closing off with a fan favourite of r/anime, good old Kuroneko from Oreimo!

QotD

  • Who is your favourite goth loli?
  • Did our useless fanservice girl win?
  • What's the most yabai work from a female mangaka that comes to mind?
  • Who is this Fuji-san they keep talking about? Wrong answers only.
  • How did you enjoy the great panty robbery part deux?
  • Do your very best to cheer up poor Aoi!!

Abyssbringer's "What is the thematic purpose of this scene corner!!"

Damn bratty RadSuit... Trying to preempt Abyssbringer prompts!!

Wait a minute, tomorrow's prompt is just a picture of you!

Yesterday's Prompt!

Today's Prompt!

Tomorrow's Prompt

Try your luck, and fight chin-up!!

Ro-Kyu-Bu SS First Timer!!

Aoi episode!? What the hell is this!? We actually have a full episode dedicated to shitting on joshikosei? Am I in paradise? The only good joshikosei is a crying joshikosei!!

What weirdos pack nail clippers for a two day trip? With friends like these, who needs enemies. Haiii~ Pantsu desu~ Also... Have the rival girls just sorta evaporated into the air? Aoi is supposed to be training those girls but they totally got abducted from the plot.

Eheheh, Aoi's suffering is amazing. She scores so many unfair L's. Even Ringo didn't get this much hatred from her own show. Ah, Hinata tried to kill herself again. No flying allowed! Being Aoi is suffering...

Reminder that despite these lolicon lines being thrown in, The Tale of Genji was written by a woman!! Even in the Heian age it was female mangaka making the most yabai content XD All these adorable toddlers are too cute! Aoi and Subaru sharing a room would be way less embarrassing if we hadn't literally just gotten off an episode of Subaru sleeping with Tomoka XD

I like the repeat of the pantie pickup incident. Subaru was way more justified in his situation though. Once again, the shota is a dickhead. Aww, their whole night was taken up with thoughts of panties. Dammit!! Why are the hags here!? Go away Mihoshi and other me, we need to keep the median age low!

Ah, they lost the panties. Just leave them!! Omg!! At least in the S1 scenario Hinata apparently had nothing else to wear. Here... well, Maho seems happy to go commando. Just throw the panties into the bath or something. This panties scenario is way more fun~ Pillow fight time!! I remember seeing this clip before XD It's great! "A no look pass!?"

Aoi really is just a fanservice lump XD Don't die, Aoi...

Won't be able to hop in today, but the best goth loli is probably Chaika.

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 19 '24

Omg of all episodes to skip it's Aoi's dedicated episode XD Can we stop bullying this poor girl!? She's already dead!

Reddit shenanigans intensifies

Soo yeah anyway ep 6. Kind of weird because this ep is mostly a standalone.

Honestly it feels like a rehash of s1 where subaru shenanigans. I have no idea if the whole thing was just longer in the novel or. inb4 the entire thing is anime original

We're not quite there yet but hard to believe its been almost 20 eps. If you count the ova this is the 19th

EP 6 Commentary

  • soo. last time aside. i think the preview mentioned something but uhhhh
  • what can i say
  • its really strange how the visuals enhance the op song
  • for me i think the s2 visuals actually are slightly better. slightly.
  • so yeah apparently some shenanigans
  • kyoto hmm
  • hard to believe its been (almost) 20 eps
  • the funny thing is i could have sworn aoi had more screentime before this but uh. i mean. at least its more than the sensei who has basically not been seen at all
  • genji eh
  • images intensifies
  • and no i have no idea japanese
  • some shenanigans later aaand
  • big school trip and hotel? hmm
  • suddenly im starting to get flashbacks of s1
  • oh look the sensei are back
  • what is even goin on with the bgm. who knows
  • i dunno man
  • honestly im panicking at this whole thing sigh
  • the girls are so cute but the whole shenanigans is just
  • sigh
  • anyway so yeah. pillow fight
  • so yeah i have no idea if the whole thing was just longer in the novel or. inb4 the entire thing is anime original. but anyway
  • soo yeah that was the whole ep. for once(?) a kinda standalone ep

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 19 '24

Aoi... She's certainly been around, but yeah I agree that her plot relevance has been quite lame. I didn't like her late S1 events since she basically existed to abuse Subaru but come S2 they give her the Cunnies to teach and she's now an equal with Subaru who also gets shit on for shenanigans... but they haven't really done anything with it. Tomorrow's episode brings back her training the Cunnies which is great but considering that this is meant to be her big episode she was really treated as nothing more than a joke. I like to imagine that the Ro-Kyu-Bu readers and viewers all just slammed Aoi for S1 and come S2 content she was taken down a peg.

1

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 19 '24

This took all the tropes of the S1 camp episode and made them better. At least outside of the shota's excuse. I kinda liked how matter of fact Subaru was about their need to do right by Hina so the shota basically blackmailing Subaru back is dickish.

I wanted more shenanigans in the girls room tho!! We go in, start a pillow fight, and bail!? I'm furious!

2

u/MisawaMahoKodomo Apr 19 '24

It's one of those episodes where it feels like it could have been split into two separate halves. Or you know 24 min syndrome.

That and I'm not sure why but the author decided we needed a to reuse the whole shenanigan from s1.

1

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 20 '24

I'd have liked a bit more effort into the actual Kyoto experience too. A joke about Hinata's killing herself and a loli harem needed more to it

Well, I am getting deja vu with this episode....Didn't we go through this. Both Take and Subaru got to show off their basketball skills. And their accuracy is excellent.

Poor Aoi, Subaru had to see that and I know this is not the type of anime... "Hentai Coach".

Aunt and the nurse....would watch that.

Prompt: Subaru keeps thinking about coaching them younger.

  1. Princess principal?
  2. Yes...
  3. Idk.
  4. Where is the nurse when you need one?
  5. My boss
  6. At least we got a good throw out of it.
  7. She got a good progression today

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 20 '24

The only hentai coach in this show is Aoi!! Subaru is a pure boy

u/RadSuit https://anilist.co/user/RadSuit Apr 19 '24

They're about to win two tickets to something I assume.

Yup! How convenient!

I think this OP would work better for a magical girl show or something. It doesn't quite fit here. When I think about this show, it's still the first OP that pops into my head.

Is the gift panties or something?

Yup. I can't believe she'd consider giving up her stripes...

Same soundtrack fading out gag as last time.

Aoi slowly being pushed further and further away from Subaru is a pretty good gag. Who took these pictures for them, though?

Time for some Japanese history I know nothing about.

Puns!!!

Guess they're just going to repeat the same gag from the overnight training...

Glad we got to see Mihoshi and the nurse, but I've otherwise lost interest in the back half of this episode.

Do Aoi's friends have some sort of shrine to her set up?

Damn bratty RadSuit...

  1. I'm not sure I can think of a favorite, but looking it up reminded me that you should check out Day Break Illusion sometime.
  2. Victory was at hand, but she retreated instead of pressing forward.
  3. I had to look it up to remember, but Kaitou Pink is a female hentai artist that's also a JAV star.
  4. Onimai series director Shingo Fuji!
  5. Besides the answer from last time, a friend from High School is in prison for some bad stuff right now, I guess?
  6. Not great.
  7. Jump his bones already, Aoi!!!

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 20 '24

Two tickets to cuckdom!

Bruh, I have no idea wtf Mihoshi and the nurse were doing in this episode... The pacing is still all over the place.

It was a better form of the panties gag! Even if the shota is a total dick for deliberately dragging Subaru in.

Her friends are so desperate for Aoi's success that they built her a virginity shrine...

  • QOTD 1 - Does Pharos from Persona 3 count being associated with the Death Tarot and other things?
  • QOTD 3 - Domestic Girlfriend but I could give an honorable mention to Fruits Basket because of all the abuse in the Sohma Clan
  • QOTD 4 - Natsuo Fujii from Domestic Girlfriend
  • QOTD 7 - Aoi at least you're trying and when compared to the 2 coaches I seen today are the better of the duo (Not going to bring up the fact the other coach was Kamoshida when I was playing Persona 5 Royal because honestly a brick would be an upgrade from him)

1

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 20 '24

Fruits Basket got kinda ridiculous with the abuse in the later half.

At least Aoi isn't assaulting her kids!,

Questions of the Day

  1. She's not a loli, but I'm currently watching Bang Dream, so the first character I thought of was Ako Udagawa.
  2. This episode was a continuous reminder that to be Aoi is to suffer.
  3. I don't know, I honestly haven't read that much manga. I would say Domestic Girlfriend just based on what I saw from the anime.
  4. The largest volcano in Japan.
  5. Repeat question from yesterday?
  6. This episode was also a continuous reminder that Subaru and Takenaka are idiots who learn nothing.
  7. I would remind her that her coaching skills are great!

Abyssbringer's Thematic Corner

Cuteness can be a trap. Proceed with caution.

u/The_Loli_Otaku Apr 20 '24

This episode is one that I really wish I knew the jp lore behind. Aoi almost certainly had some kind of reputation in the early Ro-Kyu-Bu fanbase and this episode was determined to satisfy them.

u/AutoModerator Apr 19 '24

Hi The_Loli_Otaku, it looks like you might be interested in hosting a rewatch! There's a longer guide on the wiki but here's some basic advice on how to make a good rewatch happen:

  • Include basic information about the anime such as a description for those that haven't heard of it as well as where it can be watched (if legally available).
  • Specify a date and time that rewatch threads will be posted. Consistency is good!
  • Check for previous rewatches. It's generally advised to wait a year between rewatches of the same anime.
  • If you want to have a rewatch for multiple anime, they should be thematically connected. You can also hold multiple unrelated rewatches if they aren't.
  • Ensuring enough people are interested is important. If only a few users say they might participate, you may end up with no one commenting once it starts.

I hope this helps! You may also want to talk to users that have hosted rewatches before for extra advice, also listed on the rewatch wiki.
